ABSTRACT:
A method of manufacturing an integrated circuit (IC) can utilizes semiconductor substrate configured in accordance with a trench process. The substrate utilizes trenches in a base layer to induce stress in a layer. The substrate can include silicon. The trenches define pillars on a back side of a bulk substrate or base layer of a semiconductor-on-insulator (SOI) wafer.
